1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Cell identity is controlled by regulatory elements, such as promoters, enhancers, and insulators, within the genome. These regulatory elements interact in the nucleus and form tissue-specific chromatin structures. Dysregulation of these elements and their interactions can lead to loss of cell identity and promote the development of diseases such as cancer. Tumor cells acquire aberrantly activated enhancers at oncogenic driver genes through various mechanisms. Small genomic changes such as mutations, insertions, and amplifications can form aberrant enhancers. Genomic rearrangements at the chromosomal level, including translocations and inversions, are also often observed in cancers. These rearrangements can result in repositioning of enhancers to locations near tumor-type-specific oncogenes. Chromatin structural changes caused by genomic or epigenomic changes lead to mis-interaction between enhancers and proto-oncogenes, ultimately contributing to tumorigenesis through activation of oncogenic signals. Additional epigenomic mechanisms can also cause aberrant enhancer activation, including those associated with overexpression of oncogenic transcription factors and the mutation of transcriptional cofactors. Exogenous viral DNA can also lead to enhancer aberrations. Here, we review the mechanisms underlying aberrant oncogene activation through enhancer activation and rewiring, both of which are caused by genomic or epigenomic alterations in non-coding regions.
